I Shall Survive Using Potions!

Talking to Ed, Caorle was wondering.

... too smart.

How can Ed, a horse, talk to himself normally?

Originally the horses were very smart and just couldn't talk to humans?

No, that can't be.

Ed is really a horse-like intelligence and a toddler-like answer, but he translates it into these words so that the translation function is easy for Caorle to understand?

Or are you forcing them to meet the condition of 'conversation in all languages of this world, the ability not to be inflexible to read and write', thus increasing their ability to be conversable in conversations with Caorle? No way......

Horses, however, are less intelligent than dogs who are said to be about three years old. Almost everyone in Japan has responded to the questionnaires taken from many horse racers. Then I can't explain it unless I think about it.

Besides, if you say that, is there enough for a horse to call it language in the first place? He showed me the way as soon as I came to this world, you know, even for a small animal like a squirrel.

Feeling like it was no use thinking about it, Caorle stopped thinking about it any more. If you can convey your will smoothly, that's fine. Because it's a lot better than I can't tell you.

The Rolands were scattered against a caorle that continued its comfortable journey. Buying water and food in the last towns and villages that pass by the camp, very unlikely to be a camp, a night's rest as in 'Nojuku'.

No matter how much royalty, Roland also trained himself in the army. I had experience in camping. But it was due to a proper curtain house, warm meals, simple beds for assembly, a sufficient number of blankets, etc., and not like junior soldiers and mercenaries, sleeping gobbled on grass, etc.

7-8 days distance in an army march to match the speed of infantry and carriage. Considering also that the speed of the caorle, which is a single ride without luggage, has increased further, we will arrive in as little as three to four days. Those were the Rolands who had endured with that in mind, but the battlefield was more western than they thought if the Imperial Army invaded slowly, and it was six days after departure that they arrived near the battlefield.

'Oh, apparently we're here. It's like a camp over there. "

"Okay, lady."

Caorle and Ed headed to a curtain building that looked like a front-line command post, built in a rearward position from the battlefield. And naturally, the soldiers immediately stopped me.

"Who is it!

Caorle, surrounded by a few soldiers, who does what.

"Oh, I say caorle. Isn't the cure potion for you?

"" "Eh..." "

None of the soldiers had ever seen Caorle as a friend of the goddess at close range. Those who know the personal name 'Caorle' rather than the name 'friend' or 'user'.

The soldiers also heard rumors of a healing potion. It's not that expensive, but it's not that it's cheap. We haven't used it yet, but we only heard about its effects from the people who used it. How helpful would that be on the battlefield...

But the girl in front of you is palm. What's the matter......

While the soldiers were struggling to cope, Roland and the others rushed closer.

"It's Roland. Show me to the general."

Exactly, there were no kingdom soldiers who didn't know King Brother Roland. In a hurry to salute him, he led everyone to the curtain hall where the command was located.

Incidentally, the four Kingsguards, who found the Royal Army deploying in the middle of the night's advance, had camped in a slightly turned back location and were joining the Rolands in the morning.

"Dear Roland! Why are you here..."

General Menez, the commander-in-chief of the Interceptor Army, welcomed the line with surprise.

"I'm suddenly sorry. There are a few things going on... So, how's the war going?

To Roland's question, the General answers with a glance.

"is that the enemy army is joined by a second line across the mountains, almost 20,000 soldiers. It has a total strength of about 40,000 and is almost equal to that of our army. At the time of confrontation with our army, we stopped marching, almost in a state of peer to peer, and then, to some extent, there was a small skirmish….

I'm in a hurry to settle quickly and head to Wang Capital for rescue, but if this one moves on, pull, and move on, it's obviously like I'm buying time...

Saying, if you go into forceful action, this damage will increase, and if you do poorly, you risk losing it to the rescue of the King's capital... "

General with a bitter look on his face. But there Roland brought the good news.

"Oh, don't worry. All 20,000 enemy troops via the Holy Nation of Rueda were taken prisoner. No harm has been done to our army. Now he's defending the king's capital with 15,000 soldiers. Don't worry about the king's capital, focus on dealing with the enemy in front of you."

"" "" Whoa, whoa!!

In the command curtain where cheers boil.

"Oh, is that true!

"What happens when you lie?

"Oh! Now you are free to take operational action without any worries! I guess I don't have to drain my soldiers for nothing."

Tremble with joy, General Menez.

There, a caorle caught his mouth listening in silence.

"Um, what happens if the enemy forces find out that the army via the Holy Nation has been defeated?

To Caorle's words, General Menez looked suspicious and asked Roland.

"Dear Roland, what about that girl over there?

Roland answered with a bad grin of people.

"Oh, my name is Caorle. Is it easier to say this to the general," Goddess's friend "..."

"Huh..."

A general who opens his eyes to amazement.

"So, what's the answer to my question?

The general replied hastily to Caorle's words, which seemed a little disheartened.

"Yes, if you find that out, it would mean no more time buying, either withdrawing, or trying to defeat our troops and head to the King's Capital. Well, there's little chance of retreat..."

"How did you know there was no retreat?

"Even if we retreat, the Empire has no future. There is no longer a way for an empire to develop except by invading another country.

And if we lost a lot of soldiers and retreated in this invasion, it would take years before we could invade next. And by then, other nations will also be vigilant in their efforts to increase their fighting power and sharpen the power of their empires. Neither an ambush over a mountain nor a back-trade with the Holy Nation will do much for you once you find out and use it next.

Besides, it's normal to think that if you can destroy us, it's not that hard to drop the king's capital that thousands of armies defend. Apparently, the Empire doesn't know that we went out without waiting for the Lords near the eastern tip, and they don't think the Lords who didn't make it to the launch are joining the King's Capital defense, so they're underestimating the King's Capital's power. "

If we apply the law of triple attack, the offensive side needs 30,000 troops to beat 10,000 defenses. If you think of the strength of Wang Du as less than 10,000 troops, it would be better if there were more than 30,000 troops. Then it would be good if the damage could be reduced to less than 10,000 and the enemy destroyed.

In ordinary battles, 30% of the troops are 'wiped out' when they die, and 50% are 'crushed' when they die. Wins and losses are decided by then. So after you break the enemy, there's a good chance that 30,000 soldiers will remain. All you have to do is conduct a siege, or you can surround it and wait for the food to run out and make a sound. Self-armies may levy food, etc. from surrounding towns, or carry supplies via the Holy Nation. At the time of the siege of the Wang capital, the same was true of the victory.

Thinking so is never a strange story. That too, if an empire that is confident in the strength of its soldiers as a military state, precedes an equal number of enemy soldiers.

"But it must be long before the Imperial Soldier learns of the defeat of the army on the part of the Holy Nation. How many days does it take for a Herald to return to the Empire via the Holy Nation and then get a Herald across the mountains..."

Caorle asks the General what he says.

"So why don't you tell him from here?

"No, do you honestly believe what the enemy says..."

The General laughs bitterly at Caorle's words.

After a while of thinking, Caorle looked bad and said.

"Well, let's hang the bait that looks delicious!

Oh, again, you're thinking about something that's not even Roku...

Seeing Caorle's face, Roland looked fed up.

The next day.

A loud transmission was made to the soldiers of the kingdom confronting their enemies on the front line.

"Guys, listen up! Yesterday, His Royal Highness Roland came from King's Capital! Enemy troops through the Holy Nation are crushed, Your Highness has brought you tons of healing potions! I'm not afraid of any more injuries! For those who are injured or ill, go and get them healed immediately!

The words, which were shouted many times everywhere, were naturally heard by enemy soldiers and conveyed to their superiors.
